Moses Pearson

Moses Pearson was a British sailor who was in the service of the Royal African Company during the early 18th century. In February 1721, his ship was sunk by the pirate Bartholomew Roberts' vessel Royal Fortune off the coast of Principe in West Africa, and he was rescued by Edward Kenway after Anne Bonny noticed him. Pearson told Kenway that the Royal Fortune had attacked his ship and showed no quarter, and Kenway proceeded to hunt Roberts down and kill him.
